2 bed apartment at £120k, what is the catch with this building?

  1. Castle Street and the area facing this building have a bad reputation and for good reason.

    That being said It’s all being gentrified with student acom so I wouldn’t be surprised if this changed in the next 10 years.

  2. Proximity to castle street and a main road. Pretty sure someone died in that building in suspicious circumstances as well.

  3. Dodgy area. Not great during daylight and a no go area at night. Building is basically all immigrants now. I’d not be surprised if the landlord is Ukrainian seeking some of the tax free earnings.
    For 120k you can get a 2 bedroom house just outside the city and have a much better time. The city centre is almost a no go zone now a days anyway.

  4. A lot of the apartments are scruffy and degraded. I viewed a place in there and it was shabby. Needed renovations, which would cost money.

  5. check ground rent, and check service charges for living in a building like that beyond rates

  6. If you are a 10th Dan in Karate, own a stab/bullet proof vest, carry two personal guns, say 9mm/MP5, couple of smoke grenades & drive a tank you could MAYBE live there, you can MAYBE even Charles Bronson, Death Wish, it, make it a tidy spot for all.

    But if it’s a none of the above, I’d give it a wee miss, because as the light breaks over Belfast it’s like a scene from the Walking Dead around here, climbing/appearing out of doorways, bins, entries & even bushes 🤣🤣

  7. It’s £120 for a two bedroom flat in a dodgy area. You can get houses in better areas for that price.

  8. 120k is probably the starting bait price, on the hope you’ll enquire about it.
